SHE might be a senior, but one 59-year-old woman has shared how her heavy lifting keeps her in shape – and feeling sexier than ever. <\/p>\n
The fitness buff credited her demanding workout routine to her slim physique. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
"This is going to sound crazy, but if you would lift heavy, like a man, you will get beautiful, feminine, toned muscle after 50," said (@thisboomermom). <\/p>\n
The post-menopausal mom upped her weightlifting game – and hasn't looked back since. <\/p>\n
The gym-goer could be seen lifting a pair of weights over her head while standing up and lying down on a bench. <\/p>\n
And she didn't want her small frame to fool you – she wasn't going easy on herself. <\/p>\n
Rather, she was lifting the same heavy weights that a much stronger man would usually be working with. <\/p>\n
Some impressed fans wondered just how much she was was able to lift.<\/p>\n
"You are a babe! Are those 20-pound weights?" asked one such curious follower. <\/p>\n
"I use 20s to chest press, 15s for bicep curls, 40s for deadlifts, I squat with 50," she explained. <\/p>\n

Any tips on how to lift heavy in spite of this?" the follower asked. <\/p>\n "Yes, there are special grips you can buy – takes pressure off of certain lifts. When doing things like push-ups you adjust your wrists and arms forward," she responded.<\/p>\n The petite blonde might have been doing a man's routine, but she was all woman. <\/p>\n The healthy eating guru regularly posts about how she stays strong at almost 60. <\/p>\n Aside from heavy weightlifting, the toned TikToker's tips included eating more protein, getting more sleep, and doing less cardio.<\/p>\n The swimsuit-wearing fitness junkie also shared how she rarely drinks alcohol and limits her sugar intake. <\/p>\n She also does her own DIY projects, including painting around the house to save money. <\/p>\n And when it comes to dressing, the ageless fashionista has also made it clear that she still wears whatever she wants. <\/p>\n The fitness fan had also found additional admirers. <\/p>\n "Go sister," said one encouraged viewer.<\/p>\n "Not crazy – muscle is the fountain of youth!" yet another follower agreed.<\/p>\n "You get it!" she replied. <\/p>\n According to boxlifemagazine.com, the average weight for a conventional deadlift for a woman is approximately 83 pounds for beginners and close to 200 pounds for immediate-level lifters.<\/p>\n This means that female beginners should be able to lift around half their body weight while intermediate lifters can lift 1.5 times their bodyweight. <\/p>\n When it comes to men, the average deadlift weight for novice lifters is around 173 pounds, while intermediates can lift up to 336 pounds. <\/p>\nUsyk fight in limbo as Gypsy King REFUSES to confirm December bout<\/h3>\n
